JULUS. J6l 



increase as the Julus advances in age, till the 

 number appointed by Nature is complete. 



The European species of this genus are small, 

 and do not exceed an inch and a half in length ; 

 but there is one, the J. Indus 9 inhabiting the 

 woods of Asia and America, which is seven 

 inches long, and of a size in proportion. The 

 J. maximus, a much larger species, though not 

 so well known, is a native of South America. 

 It has been noticed by Lister, in his " Journey 

 to Paris," and figured also by Seba, in his first 

 Volume, plate 81.
